Second Chance Pet Adoptions is a non-profit, no-kill animal rescue organization in the Triangle Area of North Carolina. It is the oldest no-kill rescue in Wake County and has rescued stray or abandoned cats and dogs since 1987. Their mission is to champion homeless animals and find their forever homes. The facility is super clean, and the staff is very helpful, doing a wonderful and amazing job. They let potential adopters meet the animals for as long as they like to ensure a good pairing for the family and situation. This pet rescue does an amazing job of helping animals that need rescue and shelter. They also engage with the community through events. Anyone looking to adopt a sweet, loving pet should give them a call or check their website.
Such a great adoption establishment. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They have the animals best interests at heart. We have a new addition to our family we met and were able to adopt and take home the same day.

Awesome organization. They really do take pride in finding their animals the best matches. Since they foster first for dogs make sure you call or email to plan ahead with them. Can't adopt? Volunteer, walk dogs or join the foster network
